Useless 1D4 poll

This is just to clarify the useless predictions so when it finally DOES come out we know where everyone stood.

I *gulp* begrudgingly vote it will be a APS-H sized chip.

This is just a chip sized poll as there already exist many rumor threads.

On record, APS-H

It BETTER remain APS-H!! There are already ENOUGH Full Frame and APS-C sensor Canon cameras as it is!

Now let's see Canon produce some ultra wide angle zoom lenses specifically suited for an APS-H sensor, such as a 12-24mm f2.8L .

What's APH-S??

I think it will be APS-H too.

Oh a 12-24 2.8L would ROCK. I'd buy that (for FF). The front element would probably bulge out like popeye (the Sigma) but that's OK.

So long as it kicks the noink 14-24's butt.

You can talk! You're getting the 20th and 30th confused a little bit

Anyway, IRT, my money is on APS-H
Fingers crossed as well, it's my preferred format.

Wot? Thar be no problem thar!

(ahh the power of the edit button)

there were two links

Hehe heh... changed...

Remain in APS-H
at around 15-18 mega pixel
+ HD video !!

The sports/wildlife photographers will need the extra reach

Of course it will be full frame. It wil also offer crop modes of 1.3 (aka MKIIn * MKIII) and a 1.5 for super reach and the same as the Nikon D3s. In fact I suspect the reason the Nikon D3s has a 1.2 crop mode is to attract the pro Canon user back to their line.

An improved LCD display & ISO enhancement round out enough changes to launch this as a 2DMKI in my humble opinion. The death of the 1 D and 1Ds series would be at hand and the 2D series would combine them.

But what do I know

^ Bold haha

I personally feel with a body of the 1D's size "reach" need not be simulated, but in a FF chip with greater resolution allowing for actual cropping to gain "needed" reach later.

A 14MP-16MP redesigned FF chip would yield the same "reach" if not more at the current 1DIII.

I'd have to agree with this. Sometimes the reach is a little too much, then a FF which can be cropped down to 1.3 (or even 1.6) if needed is a better choice. In PP of course. Artificial cropping is just wasting a FF sensor (and reduces resolution... which cropping later does too, but at least you have a choice in PP).

IF they could make the crop take up the full frame somehow... then that would be good, but that would mess up some law of physics... maybe a ninja could do it...

The thing with having FF is that keeping a high FPS will be difficult, because of the the larger files.

4 processors anyone?!


If they made it 14-16MP FF the noise characteristics would be A for Awesome!
